Description

Projection type video display device
The application be that August 9, application number in 2006 are 200610115432.2 the applying date, denomination of invention divides an application for the patented claim of " projection display ".
Technical field
The present invention relates to be formed and the corresponding optical image of picture signal by image-displaying member, this optical image is projected to the projection type video display device of screen etc.
Background technology
In the optics system of always projector, in order to make brightness minimum and implement under the situation of optical modulation of image-displaying member, the light that is absorbed on the ejaculation Polarizer of the deflection of gathering the light beam of being modulated by image-displaying member is insufficient, brightness does not descend on the meeting generation screen, promptly is called the black generation of appearing elephant in one's mind.
Therefore, have following mechanism: by beyond the light valve corresponding from the outside signal and change the dimming mechanism of the light quantity of picture integral body, and the minimum brightness of projection type video display device is reduced, improve contrast thus.The so-called in this case signal from the outside is meant the signal that comprises picture signal, mensuration external environment condition, the signal that the user operates intentionally etc.A kind of as this mechanism, in the light optics system, use the technology that changes the chopping mechanism of shading amount corresponding to picture signal, for example in WO2003-032080 communique, Jap.P. 2005-17500 communique, Jap.P. 2005-31103 communique etc., open record is arranged.
Here, under the situation that the dynamic range that makes projection type video display device further increases, the shading amount of the chopping mechanism that disposes in the light optics system also must increase.In order to increase the shading amount of chopping mechanism, the lightproof area that increases when contained light-blocking member illumination beam is blocked in the chopping mechanism gets final product.
But, when increasing the shading amount and since on the illuminated zone of the formed light optics system of array lens the number of times of overlapping secondary souce picture reduce, so be easy to generate the uneven problem of the Illumination Distribution of illumination light on illuminated zone.And at chopping mechanism rotation or mobile shade and implement under the situation of shading, the variation that has the rotation of shadow shield or an Illumination Distribution when mobile is mapped in the problem on the picture easily.
Particularly, because image-displaying member is as liquid crystal display cells, it is big more for the angle of the normal direction of component side to have incident ray, the character that its contrast performance is poor more, in order to improve the contrast of projection type video display device, to from the contrast performance that is harmful to image-displaying member, when more the light of wide-angle carries out shading for the normal of image-displaying member, the problems referred to above are just more remarkable.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to, keeping under the more uniform state of the illumination on the illuminated zone of illumination light, can control the shading amount of chopping mechanism significantly.
Or, the objective of the invention is to, provide have big dynamic range, excellent image display capability, to the projection type video display device of the adaptive faculty of environment and user's intention.
Using lens element (lens cell) to be configured to two rectangular array lenses, make in the projection type video display device of light uniformization of light source, the lightproof unit of the light quantity of the light that adjustment is penetrated from light source is for the shading area of the array lens of light source side configuration, with the shading area of the adjacent lens element of the nearest lens element of optical axis, littler than the shading area of other element.

At first, use Fig. 1~Fig. 5, the summary of embodiments of the present invention is described.
The projection type video display device of embodiments of the present invention is provided with: light source; Two array lenses that dispose in turn along the optical axis of the light that penetrates from light source, from the near side of distance light source; By in order to make the overlapping lens that on illuminated area, overlap by two formed a plurality of secondary souce pictures of array lens be constituted, make from the even lighting mechanism of the Illumination Distribution homogenising of the light of light source incident; And be arranged on the optical axis of the light that penetrates from light source, regulate dimming mechanism from the light quantity of the ejaculation light of light source.And then, by controlling dimming mechanism, can regulate from the emitted light quantity of even lighting mechanism based on information from the outside.And, in two array lenses, the array lens that is configured in light source one side at least be a plurality of essentially rectangulars lens according to the rules arrangement and the array lens that disposes.Dimming mechanism is disposed at the light incident side of two array lenses, or between two array lenses, or between two array lenses and the overlapping lens, or the emitting side of overlapping lens, dimming mechanism is to move on the direction of regulation or rotate by the light-blocking member that makes one or more, illuminating bundle before and after in the even lighting mechanism or the even lighting mechanism is blocked, become the lightproof unit of regulating the illumination light quantity thus.When lightproof unit will be adjusted to minimum amount of light from the light that light source penetrates, under each element (cell) of light source side array lens was gone up situation with the light-blocking member projection, the shape of light-blocking member was the shape with the area of regulation element relation littler than the area of other element.
To the element of the regulation purpose of the area of shading regulation only, be that it is more even in the Illumination Distribution in illuminated zone to keep illumination light for when the shading amount that makes lightproof unit increases.Here so-called element to regulation is the way of the area of shading regulation only, and is specific as follows.
The so-called integrated lighting system of using array lens, the secondary souce picture that generally is the Illumination Distribution by each element obtains more uniform Illumination Distribution therefrom at illuminated region overlapping.Illumination influence degree for overlapping Illumination Distribution is relevant with each array lens element.Here, the light beam that sees through each element is carried out under the situation of part shading, because the Illumination Distribution of this element is because of light-blocking member shading unevenly, so Illumination Distribution is also inhomogeneous at light-blocking member.Therefore, for example, because the Illumination Distribution of the element that the illumination influence degree is the highest is big for the influence of Illumination Distribution overlapping on the image-displaying member, so this element is being carried out under the state of part shading, Illumination Distribution overlapping on the image-displaying member is least even.By light-blocking member to more element shading, the light beam not element of shading is few more, the Illumination Distribution of the element that the illumination influence degree is high is big more to the influence of Illumination Distribution overlapping on image-displaying member, when this element was carried out part shading state, the inhomogeneous of Illumination Distribution overlapping on the image-displaying member also increased.
Like this, when lightproof unit will be when the direction that reduces be regulated, according to compare the mode shading that the shading area of other element lightproof area increases with the area of lightproof area in the high element of illumination influence degree from the light quantity of the ejaculation light of light source.By such structure, can guarantee that Illumination Distribution overlapping on the image-displaying member is more even, can access bigger shading amount simultaneously.
Or, when lightproof unit with light quantity in the process that minimum direction is regulated, if the light beam of most elements can not shading and when being Restzustand, even the light beam by the highest element of illumination influence degree is also fewer for the uneven influence of Illumination Distribution.If this state is even then the high element of illumination influence degree is carried out shading partially or completely, also fewer for the uneven influence of Illumination Distribution overlapping on the image-displaying member.But by after the shading fully,, the illumination skewness there is maximum influence to the light beam situation that the highest element of illumination influence degree does not carry out the part shading in the element of shading fully at the high element of illumination influence degree.Like this, the light quantity of the light that will penetrate from light source in lightproof unit is adjusted under the minimum situation, carry out shading control, make light beam fully by the element beyond the element of shading, or light beam sees through in the element of the part of element at least, the area of the lightproof area of the element that the illumination influence degree is the highest is littler than the area of lightproof area in other element.By such structure, can guarantee that Illumination Distribution overlapping on the image-displaying member is more even, can access bigger shading amount simultaneously.
And then, in order further to increase the shading amount, wish at least in the element of a part of transmitted beam of element, the highest element of illumination influence degree by the state of part shading under, the area of the lightproof area of its element is below 1/2 of area of this element.Its reason is illustrated in Fig. 1.
Fig. 1 (a) be from optical axis direction see with direction that vertical arbitrarily diaxon in the plane of array lens parallels on dispose the figure of the array lens of rectangular element respectively, the 401st, the crest line of element, the 402nd, an axle in the diaxon, the 403rd, another axle in the diaxon.In the structure of the array lens of Fig. 1 (a), each element is as Fig. 1 (a) bend 404 and 405, about optical axis be balanced configuration to and exist.
It is right that these elements 404,405 become element.Be under the situation below 1/2 of area of each element at the area of the right lightproof area of element, can make partially overlapping of the right not shading of element, form the Illumination Distribution that is equivalent to an element by the light shading method shown in for example Fig. 1 (b).The element of Fig. 1 (b) to 404,405 in, non-light shielding part is respectively 404a, 405a, light shielding part is respectively 404b, 405b.Be under the situation below 1/2 of area of an element at light shielding part 404b, 405b, in other words, be under the situation more than 1/2 of area of an element at non-light shielding part (aperture portion), just do not have the considerably less part of illumination in the Illumination Distribution 406 after overlapping, can access uniform illumination.
On the other hand, so under 1/2 situation of the area of big each element of the area of the right lightproof area of element, in other words, non-lightproof area (aperture area, open area) than 1/2 of the area of each element little situation under, shown in Fig. 1 (c), even the right non-lightproof area of element overlaps, can not form the Illumination Distribution that is equivalent to an element yet, and the low-down part of illumination takes place.The element of Fig. 1 (c) to 404,405 in, non-light shielding part is respectively 404c, 405c, light shielding part is respectively 404d, 405d.Under non-light shielding part 404d, 405d 1/2 situation greater than the size of element, just there are very high regional 406c of illumination and the low-down part 406d of illumination in the Illumination Distribution 406 after overlapping, become very uneven Illumination Distribution.The low element centering of illumination influence degree, the overlapping back of the light beam of each element is less to the influence of Illumination Distribution.But the high element centering of illumination influence degree, this influence is very big, and the Illumination Distribution on the image-displaying member of the Illumination Distribution of overlapping whole elements is inhomogeneous.Thus, the highest element of illumination influence degree or light beam by the element beyond the element of shading fully in, wish to have the area of lightproof area of the element of the highest illumination influence degree, be below 1/2nd of its element area.
Also have, the element of array lens generally is in the plane vertical with the optical axis of light source, disposes about symmetrical.So, consider that the Illumination Distribution of each element is overlapping on image-displaying member, in order to prevent the deviation of Illumination Distribution, the lightproof area of wishing the shadow shield of lightproof unit is realized the symmetry about optical axis.For example in structure with array lens shown in Fig. 1 (a), in order to prevent the deviation of Illumination Distribution, wish it is line symmetry especially for two, promptly the center of the array lens that passes through about optical axis is point-symmetric shading.
Then, Fig. 2 is to be initial point with the intersection point with optical axis, is ordinate with the illumination 411 of the light beam of light source side array lens face, is the curve map that horizontal ordinate is done with the distance from the optical axis direction lateral direction.As shown in Figure 2, be not the illumination largest peaks near the optical axis, but on a little leaves the position of optical axis, the illumination largest peaks arranged.Its reason is described in Fig. 3.
Fig. 3 represents the distribution 412 of reflecting surface 2000 with the ejaculation light that penetrates from light source of light source 1, catoptron.Here, in order to be easy to explanation, the reflecting surface 2000 that the distribution 412 of supposing to penetrate light is labeled as the mirror that is not reflected reflects.As shown in Figure 3 as can be known, with comparing with the light 413 that penetrates on the optical axis direction direction at an angle, the amount of the ejaculation light that penetrates on optical axis direction 414 is few.Therefore, have of reflecting surface 2000 reflections of the light beam of such Illumination Distribution,, obtain Illumination Distribution shown in Figure 2 thus to penetrating abreast with optical axis direction at catoptron.
Fig. 4 represents to be adjusted to the illumination influence degree of maximum rating from the light quantity of the ejaculation light of light source.Numerical value shown in each element of Fig. 4 is the illumination influence degree of this element for the Illumination Distribution on the image-displaying member 18 that will be adjusted to from the light quantity of light source under maximum states.As can be known, the element that the illumination influence degree is the highest is included in the zone 422 with the adjacent element in the zone 421 of the element at the center of array lens by optical axis.The calculating of illumination influence degree, for example can estimate design software " ODIS " by the optics system of Jitian's manufacturing that optical research is developed, or the optical design assessment process " CODE V " made of the ORA of the U.S. (OPTICAL RESEARCH ASSOCIATES) company exploitation and simulating.As method, can be to estimate whole amount of beam A for the whole elements that use, residual next element and to element shading (the supposition transmitance is 0%), or reduced bore are measured amount of beam B for a residual element.The illumination influence degree is expressed as B/A * 100.Whole elements for array lens are carried out this operation separately.According to Illumination Distribution characteristic shown in Figure 3, in Fig. 4, the element that the illumination influence degree is the highest, be with the adjacent element area 422 of the element at center in the element that comprised, be not the element that is comprised in the zone 421 of center part.
Thus, make and to compare that the shading area of other element is big and shading can guarantee that thus Illumination Distribution overlapping on the image-displaying member is more even, can access bigger shading amount simultaneously with the area of lightproof area in the adjacent element of the element at center.And, owing to the illumination influence degree of the element that is connected to center part near the illumination influence degree of center part is low, so, even control shading, the area of lightproof area of element that makes the center is greater than the area of the lightproof area of the element that is adjacent to center part, can guarantee that also Illumination Distribution overlapping on the image-displaying member is more even, can access bigger shading amount simultaneously.
Above-mentioned shading control is from minimum quantity of light emission to quantity of light emission peaked 20% and during shading, necessary especially in the lightproof unit desire.Below be described.
Usually, at image-displaying member as liquid crystal display cells, it is big more for the angle of the normal direction of component side to have incident ray, under the situation of the character that its contrast performance is poor more, use lightproof unit, from to contrast harmful for the bigger light of the normal angle of image-displaying member, carry out shading.Finally be, regulate lightproof unit, make from the quantity of light emission of light source the most after a little while, only near several elements the center become the state of transmitted beam.In example shown in Figure 4, in the adjacent element of center part, be a total amount of the illumination influence degree of 4 elements formed regional 422 of (line) symmetry with two axles, account for 9~10% of integral body.Regulating lightproof unit, making quantity of light emission after the adjusting under the state 20% below of maximum quantity of light emission, the total amount of the illumination influence degree of each element that is comprised in regional 422 is 40~50% relatively.So,, very big to the uneven influence of illumination to carrying out under the situation of part shading with the adjacent zone that element constituted 422 of the element area 421 at center.
On the other hand, the illumination influence degree of other element is at least below the illumination influence degree of zone 422 elements that comprised.Thus, to the element of center part adjacency beyond element carry out under the situation of part shading, for the even influence of uneven illumination, it is little that the element of comparison and center part adjacency carries out the influence of situation of part shading.Particularly, in the example of Fig. 4, the illumination influence degree of center part is 4~5% of whole quantity of light emission.So, even regulating lightproof unit, make quantity of light emission after the adjusting under the state below 20% of maximum quantity of light emission, the illumination influence degree of the element at center is about 25% relatively.Thus, centring element carries out under the situation of part shading for the even influence of uneven illumination, and the adjacent element of comparison and center part carries out the situation of part shading and will lack.
By above narration as can be known, from minimum quantity of light emission to maximum quantity of light emission 20% and shading, with light beam fully by the element that has the highest illumination influence degree in the element beyond the element of shading, or, the area that is adjacent to the lightproof area in the element of center part is compared, the area of lightproof area in other element that comprises center part is increased, and is effective.
And, to be adjusted to the most after a little while from the quantity of light emission of light source in lightproof unit, as shown in Figure 5, in each element of light source side array lens, by making the state that becomes part or all of shading through the light beam of whole elements, can further increase the effect of lightproof unit.In Fig. 5, be to represent the shadow shield 502 of lightproof unit 501 and 503 projections in the state of first array lens 3 from light source side.Fig. 5 is that expression will be adjusted to minimum state from the quantity of light emission of light source.The represented zone 425 of oblique line is lightproof areas, the 426th, and lightproof area not.And in lightproof area 425, zone 504 is the zones by 502 shadings of first shadow shield, and zone 505 is the zones by 503 shadings of second shadow shield.
In this case, the highest element of above-mentioned illumination influence degree, light beam be by the highest element of illumination influence degree in the element beyond the element of fully shading, and with the adjacent element of center part in any one by the part shading.Because the Illumination Distribution of these part shadings is big for the influence of the Illumination Distribution on the image-displaying member, so, the area of lightproof area in these elements, by increasing the area of lightproof area in other element or the center part, just can reach the homogeneity of Illumination Distribution and the situation that shading amount two aspects are all set up simultaneously.
In the example of Fig. 5, with the highest element of illumination influence degree, or light beam is by the highest element of illumination influence degree in the element beyond the element of shading fully, or become as the element of element area 422 of element of zone 421 adjacency that with the center, promptly is connected in the element of optical axis and compare, the area of the lightproof area of other element is big.Here, so-called adjacency is meant the one side that has element.Like this, by shading amount maximum, be first shadow shield 502 and the 503 formed shading surfaces under the situation of light transmission capacity minimum, has the corresponding zone of each element with the light source side array lens.Here so-called corresponding, be meant with the shading surface projection in the picture of array of source lens be divided into the same rectangular situation of element under, have by the element of colleague's same column appointed positions relation and the relation in zone.And then, the area (aperture area, aperture area) of the non-lightproof area in a corresponding zone of element that is comprised in 422 with the zone is bigger than the area corresponding to the non-lightproof area in the zone of an element that comprises in the zone 421.And the area that becomes the lightproof area in the element in zone 422 of element is below 1/2nd.Also have, be not limited to zone 421,422,, can be determined by the size (just) of illumination influence degree with the area of non-lightproof area in the corresponding zone of each element.In other words, wish that the illumination influence degree is high more, the area of non-lightproof area is big more.So in the example of Fig. 4, on axle 402 directions, because along with moving laterally from zone 422, the illumination influence degree reduces, so the area of non-lightproof area reduces also interimly, this is suitable.
Then, the structure to projection type video display device is illustrated.Fig. 6 is the figure of the structure example of expression projection type video display device.In the 3 board-like projection type video display devices of Fig. 6, the 1st, light source is the lamp of whites such as extra-high-pressure mercury vapour lamp, metal halide lamp, xenon lamp, mercury xenon lamp, halogen family lamp.Light source 1 is provided with at least one catoptron 2 with circle or polygon ejaculation opening.The light that penetrates from light source 1 is by comprising light valve 14R, G, the B of image-displaying member, directive projecting lens 200, and projection is to screen 100.Light from the lamp of light source 1 is launched is for example reflected by paraboloidal catoptron 2, becomes the light parallel with optical axis, incides first array lens 3.
First array lens 3 is divided into multi-beam by being configured to the light of many pieces of rectangular lens elements with incident, and according to it is led by the mode of second array lens 4 with polarization conversion element 5 effectively.In other words, first array lens 3 is designed to light source 1 and each lens element of second array lens 4 and is mutually the relation (conjugate relation) of object and picture each other.Same with first array lens 3, have second array lens 4 that is configured to many pieces of rectangular lens elements, the lens element that constitutes is distinguished the image-displaying member 18 of shape projection in light valve 14 of the lens element of pairing first array lens 3.At this moment, will gather the polarization direction of regulation from the light of second array lens 4 by polarization conversion element 5.
And the projection image of each lens element of first array lens 3 is respectively by collector lens 6, and condenser 13, first relay lens 15, second relay lens 16, the 3rd relay lens 17 and be overlapped in image-displaying member 18 in the light valve 14.Also have, collector lens 6 has optical axis 300.
Since first array lens 3 and image-displaying member 18 be design the relation of object and picture (conjugate relation) each other mutually, so multiple light beams of being cut apart by first array lens 3, collector lens 6 by second array lens 4 and near configuration thereof, the image-displaying member 18 of overlapping projection in light valve 14 can access the practical high Illumination Distribution of homogeneity that no problem level.
